If it was only three million yuan, Yan Rusheng could easily issue a cheque with his eyes closed . But 30 million yuan was too exorbitant .
Not that Yan Rusheng couldn't afford this amount . But given their current strained relationship, Zhou Shuang felt that he had no reason to do that .
"It's alright, let me find a way," Xuxu reassured Zhou Shuang with a mysterious grin .
Zhou Shuang's heart was tickled . This woman must be up to something .
As expected . . . her thinking is as warped as Yan Rusheng's .
"So how about it?" Xuxu turned and rejoined the crowd, raising her eyebrows confidently .
Madam Wu replied, "The government has plans to develop this area . Even if you buy over the land at 30 million yuan, it still won't be possible to save the orphanage . "

She seemed to be wavering in her decision .
It would be less complicated to sell the land to Wen Xuxu than with the government . Only a fool would reject this . Xuxu twitched her eyebrows . "Wouldn't that be my problem?"
"It's not impossible to sell it to you . . . " Madam Wu paused for a moment and then continued earnestly, "But this site has already been put up for development, and we'll need to sort out the formalities at the government office . "
Of course, she was aware of this . But seeing the innocent faces of the children, she couldn't look on without lifting a finger .
She was convinced that she could lend a hand in this matter .
Xuxu answered confidently, "As long as Madam Wu agrees to sell this site to me, I will think of a solution . "
Xuxu made a verbal agreement with Madam Wu . If she could raise the money and settle the formalities with the government within a week, Madam Wu would transfer the ownership to her .

After Madam Wu left, Matron Huang clutched Xuxu's hand gratefully, tears streaming down her cheeks .
Her tears were the best proof that she couldn't bear to leave the orphanage and the children .
Xuxu was even more determined to lend a hand .
Xuxu looked at the children amusing themselves on the field and let out a frustrated sigh .
There was a tinge of sorrow in her tone .
"Hey, how are you going to raise 30 million yuan?" Zhou Shuang asked Xuxu eagerly once they got into the car .
Without waiting for Xuxu to respond, she took a guess of her own . "Are you planning to get help from Jiang Zhuoheng?"
But that wouldn't make sense .
Given Xuxu's personality, if she had to choose between Jiang Zhuoheng and Yan Rusheng, she would definitely approach Yan Rusheng .
This was just a feeling that she couldn't explain .
"Don't make any wild guesses . It's 30 million yuan, not 3,000 yuan or 3 million yuan . Don't tell him about this, do you hear me?" Xuxu warned Zhou Shuang seriously .
She already owed Ah Heng too much . How could she bother him again?
Xuxu put on her seatbelt once the car reached the highway . She looked at Zhou Shuang and said, " Send me back to my apartment . "
She looked out the window and propped her cheek with one hand, deep in thought .
Seeing Xuxu lost in her own thoughts, Zhou Shuang didn't probe further .
When Xuxu reached home, it was already dinner time . She entered the door when Yan Rusheng came down from the stairs, and they both glanced briefly at each other .
Aunt Zhang attended to them and ushered them into the dining room .
There was a sumptuous spread on the table, including Xuxu's and Yan Rusheng's favorite dishes .
Both of them behaved like students entering the classroom as they took their own seats, facing each other .
"Ah-choo!"
Xuxu was about to scoop up some rice from the bowl when she let out a loud sneeze .
